Support I'm not a big fan of the semi-candid look of these RS portraits, but that's just me. Belle (talk) 08:30, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- If I can take a candid shot of a man or woman with a Nobel lapel pin, I will die a happy shortening. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:07, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - They always look like they've just lurched into shot and are about to say something; Marian Dawkins was the same; actually I think that is the only other RS portrait we've had, but I'm calling it statistically significant. Belle (talk) 11:22, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I kind of agree, although I think this is a much better portrait than Marian Dawkins. He looks much more natural and the composition is better. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:23, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Different brightness on right/left face, right face too bright and left face too dark. Exploringlife (talk) 05:09, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support I find the lighting difference no more distraction than the blue shirt with a while collar, I mean really. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 19:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
